Oracle9iAS has two separate groups of components ...

1. Infrastructure - used to handle the following
   • J2EE metadata for App Server clusters
   • Single Sign-on metadata
   • Oracle Internet Directory (LDAP) data
   • Portal metadata (not end-user data)
2. Application Server
   • usually considered one or more J2EE servers potentially clustered
   • a set of ORacle apps and utilities
     • Report Writer, Forms, Portal, etc.
   • generally needs access to data

Last time I checked, Oracle includes a database runtime-only license for Infrastructure purposes. Add any schemas and it's no longer runtime.

So your data comes from a database you license. Oracle's data needed to make App Server run is in the database t includes.

That's a best guess .... only Oracle can have the final (legal) say on this.
